And what pisses me off with the ignorance of black folks is that white ppl (illuminati, freemassons, devilworshippers) are responsible for this brain washing of today’s society. Did yall know that while they were elimanting black men from the strong black families of our african ancestors that to strip them of their manhood, whites also raped black men therefore pumping that homosexuality into the minds of strong black men that we had for leadership back in the day. Bravo! When ppl used to say that this was the white man’s Yall done let these white folks win all these yrs and now the 1st black as the president will still be under the white man’s power to lead and destroy and dumb black folks still have not gotten a clue. That’s a damn shame! SMFH!

You know I’m starting to think that BP and NewsOne are putting these articles on here to keep us commenting and arguing with each other. Every time they have some article about race and/or gay issues people get into heated discussions… I wonder what they would do if no one cared enough to comment anymore… Just a thought.

This is for NICOLETI!!!!! I understand what you are saying but, WE cant support every new decision that comes along! All because a person dislikes something doesn’t mean that they’re discriminating against it! I work around racist people a lot but, they don’t walk around all day say’n she don’t deserve a position with the company because she’s BLACK!!! One point you made was in fact right! WE don’t choose what race we want to be so yes, We have no choice but to be black! However, a person can make a decision on their sexual preference! You don’t come out ya mama’s belly say’n ‘I wanna be gay!!!!’ You have to grow and experience life before you can make that decision! Therefore being gay is a choice!

Damn! I didn’t even know that gays and lesbians existed back in the Billie, and Langston days!!! Back to the point…. This articles statement about blacks should strongly support the gays, is a bunch of bullshyt! Just because we struggle to get to where we are doesn’t mean we should support everyone else choice and decisions! That’s just as dumb as saying that, because whites finally came together and started supporting minorities that, they should support everything as well! Its dumb and it’s two different situations!

i personally don’t think they have anything to do with each other but the fact its a form of discrimination. but that’s where it ends a persons skin and sexuality is two different things. when i go out everyone knows im black but a gay person lets people know if they are or not. and marriage has nothing to do with civil rights its a religious act and last time i checked religion is suppose to be separate from the government so its wrong to force churches to do something they don’t believe in. and last but not least blacks was killed and still are killed over thier skin color as there is a number of laws to protect them

MentalEKliptz, actually you’re the ignorant one. Of course I know there are gay blacks. The point is that GAYS were not out there marching, just a few in the closet blacks who were gay if you get the point. I’m willing to bet you didn’t check that shyt anywhere. You can gasp all you want, this marriage shyt is your own battle, not one for blacks to fight.

TMAC, did you really show your ignorance with that last post?

Last I checked, there are MANY gay African Americans and they were present marching with the best of them. Check your history. Might surprisingly educate you.

Jah Bless!

It was law that a black person could not marry a white person. Should we revert back to that law, since it does not stop black people from voting, going into certain restaurants, going to integrated schools, or have somewhat fair trials. I mean it is the same difference.

Discrimination is discrimination and what they mean is we as black people should realize what it is like to be discriminated against by a nation and have it be socially accepted to be told that we are less than. Who is to say that gays were not out there in the civil rights movement fighting for black rights? I mean a majority of the white people that accepted and supported blacks back then were probably the gays, they were just in the closet at the time. If you let someone discriminate against another and do nothing about it…. where will it stop at. It is like a joke a comic once said, I think it was Chris Rock. When the 911 attacks happened people were saying things like “We proud to be Americans, F you terrorist” Then it was “F you Middle Easterners and Mexicans” He said he started to pay attention because he knew what was eventually coming. That train is never late he said and it did come and is in the station as we speak. Blacks with college educations are the hardest hit by economy right now. Going to an HBCU might make it 70% harder to get a job, just because they see the name of your school on the application. If we sit back and let one group be discriminated against we open the door for more possibilities in the future. No one is saying that being black and being gay are the same thing. If the nation tells you you can not marry someone based on their skin color, it would be clear cut dicrimination. Yet we sit back and say it is not when they say it about a person’s sexual orientation. It is discrimination and you are a black man/woman should know how it feels to have a nation hate you for something you can not control. You did not choose to be black and they did not choose to be gay. It is not a choice, if it was then at what age did you choose to be straight. I mean were you masturbating to a pic of someone of the same sex and then decide that you were only going to get excited for people of the opposite sex. Where you ever attracted to same sex people and then decided to not persue those feelings. If it is a choice for them, then it is a choice for us as well. I know I never wanted to muff dive and I was born Hetero.

Duh dumb dumbs … we know being gay is not the same as being black. However, it is history repeating itself in a different form. Discrimination, hate crimes, de facto and de juro discrimination, etc. Damn how quickly we forget. IT’s really a shame…

Oh my God i Couldn’t have said that better Stop using black people as pawns in the gay marriage fight it offends me when i hear people comparing black people struggle to gay people struggle and calling gay the new black how lame is that anything to justify the means now in no way shape or form do i agree with gay bashing but i also don’t agree with our struggle being compared to their struggle weather people like my comment or not we have no choice but to deal with our color of our skin where as a homosexual person could just not say what their bedroom preference is and at the end of the day it is a choice black people don’t have a choice but to be what we were born as black people and that can’t be hidden As i said once before i believe we all have a fight to fight in this life so while i don’t agree with homosexuality i don’t tear them down i take it as maybe that’s there fight to fight against within themselves as we all have something we are dealing with.

Ok some idiot made a comment about gay ppl trying to suduce them and that we as gay ppl need to talk to God, well let me educate you on something, first of all th typoic has nothing to do with someone trying to suduce anyone, and I’m so tired of you homofobs assuming because someone is gay that they want you, we like anyone else have taste and mojority of us if we are with someone we are faithful. Soo please stop assumeing we want you futher more knowone is wanting your approval on anything just the respest we deserve as a ppl. I don’t pressue being gay on you nor shall u have the right to pressue ur belife on me. Also this same person stated we just need to talk to God, I talk to him every night, morning and evening. Just as he doesn’t approve of me being gay he doesn’t of adultry, sex before marrige or children before marrige so should that be ban too? Yes let get to together and throw all the gays, unmarried sexually active ppl, men not providing for themselfs or family in jail! Oh wait that would be over 80% precent of america. I am American from the root of my hair to the bottom of my feet some of you make me ashamed to be black or even human for that matter, think about what you say before u say it……….

Peace and why don’t all these people being gay or lesbian and just don’t tell me or try to seduce me or try to get me to approve of it.
It’s their issue and not mines.
I am black with roots in Afrika.
I like women and women only.
Peace
They should talk to god about it and see what god might have to say.
Peace

EVERYONE… please don’t take this the wrong way, but…
WE have two different cars here that need/ed to cross the same bridge in this topic. and i think the ‘WRITER’ is just saying there needs to be a different approach in taking a gain to the civil rights moment to gay marriage.
If you think about it… WE as black people alone STILL continue the struggle against small minded people just by our skin color alone. if anything being gay would be the next level. in truth there not too many people that can put 20-30 people in a room and pick out EVERYONE who was gay… but let there be only one black guy in a room with 20-30 people and let the stereotypes fly!!! LOL People are JUST STARTING to get over their own prejudices with black people… WE barely cross borders with white people to make black acceptable.
Slavery in any form has waaay more history being a problem/issue than with being Gay, not to mention these are much different times… DONT GET ME WRONG… civil rights movements pretty much start the same… but the path needed to take action is going to be much more different in this society. We are talking about a whole different level of Heter or Homo phobia here…

Surprisingly, I agree with Rock42063…

I’m all for tax paying citizens exercising their rights, but as my mama put it “Everything in life isn’t meant to be fair”. With that said, I think it’ll be a while before gays are nationally given the right to marry. I also highly applaud the author of this article for saying exactly how I feel about this situation. All to often, Blacks are constantly are being pawns to everyone else’s struggles. A lot of this stems from our high rate of success and others envying and vying for that success.

The illegal immigrant community is infamous for trying to use us (the very community that they despise) for their own plight…and all the while by trying to take our jobs & housing away from us.

Go figure :)

I Can’t believe I’m hearing this….First tool in making a intelligent response to this: Remembering that all struggles in civil rights are the same, simply for the fight towards equality. Furthermore, we as Black Americans will not progress until we stop telling everyone else that there struggles in civil equality isn’t the same. The Holocaust, The Native Americans, Gay Rights, Immigration Rights (I hear a lot of us black people saying to them what was once said to us: Go back where you came from!)It pains me to read what I have read on here-str8 folks still feel like we want ACCEPTANCE from them! What we DEMAND from other humans like ourselves-is RESPECT!!!! Respect for our struggle, that is still going on a strongly and as painful as it was even in biblical times. I know a lot of you anti-rainbows feel like we should all disappear one day, but we just are not! We will continue exist as long as you keep having this underlined discourse for our communities…besides, you can’t kill us all. More importantly, stop making Gay peoples right to marriage about YOU-How many black people DO YOU KNOW that are married first, children after? Case closed. Better yet, blame it on the gays, you blamed HIV and AIDS on us, you won’t let the “DOWN LOW” thing go for crying out loud, finally we as black people can hate someone else and discriminate some other group of people they way its been done to us. Yea, talk about recompense…However, after saying all of that. I do believe that someone is using the struggle of Black America as a rude and offensive comparison to Gay Rights….only because each situation in civil rights should be treated individually, regardless of similarities.

Are they not Black, because they are not straight? No, seriously, is that what you think?

GAY BLACK PEOPLE ARE BE PLAYED OUT. THERE ARE TWICE AS MANY GAY WHILE PEOPLE AS THERE ARE BLACK. SO ALL THE RIGHTS THEY WANT ARE REALLY JUST GOING BACK TO THE WHITE SUPREMECY PLAN. WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS STOP TRYING TO SIMULATE EUROPEAN CULTURE.ALL THIS GAY-BI SEXUAL STUFF COMES FROM THE GREEK, AND ROMAN CULTURE. BLACK PEOPLE GOT NOTHEN TO DO WITH THAT. INFACT THEY ARE THE FIRST TO RAPE AND PILLAGE OUR CULTURE AND REPLACE IT WITH MURDER, HOMOSEXUALITY, THIEVERY, DESTRUCTION, AND MAYHAM. IM NOT PARTICIPATING IN GAY RIGHTS WHAT SO EVER, HOWERVER I WILL TAKE PART IN A BILL THAT HELPS ARE MEN TURN BACK INTO FATHER, AND WOMEN TURN BACK INTO MOTHERS.

The bottom line is..if that is what you feel comfort in being this way then what myself and others feel shouldn’t matter. rather than forcing on or seeking acceptance on heterosexuals, and or comparing African American struggles of 400 plus years of oppression, with this social struggle.These folks should seek God’s love first and everything else will follow. I do not have to insult homosexuals on the differences of why our struggle differs, but in most cases I don’t that you are ,gay unless u tell me that u are.and this is where we differ. Until we resolve society’s problems with our people as a whole, then we should not stop and be used as convience tools of comparison. Gay or straight love YOURSELF.
